[00:15] Nanbu
    See, and here's the turn.
[00:17] Sachio
    Don't get carried away and fall over, Pops.
[00:21] Nanbu
    I've been at this for a long time.
[00:24] Nanbu
    I figure it's time you learn to dance, too.
[00:28] Sachio
    Cut it out! I don't wanna!
[00:36] Nanbu
    Come on, match the tempo!
[00:39] Sachio
    Give it a rest!
[00:47] Nanbu
    Here.
[00:49] Joe
    What's that?
[00:51] Sachio
    A ticket from a bet he lost
    on a dog race, apparently.
[00:54] Nanbu
    It's a charm to help you avoid
    getting hit by Yuri's punches.
SIGN    Area 13 Dog Racing Association Race 7 #5 Carpediem
[01:00] Joe
    You bet on a dog with a weird name.
[01:03] Sachio
    What's it even mean, Pops?
[01:07] Nanbu
    "Seize the day."
[01:09] Nanbu
    Means you gotta live in
    the moment and value it.
[01:13] Nanbu
    There's no telling what'll
    happen to us tomorrow,
[01:17] Nanbu
    but what we do now is what
    sets the course. Y'know?
[01:24] PA
    Twenty minutes until the match begins.
[01:27] Nanbu
    It's time.
[01:27] PA
    Both fighters, please head to the gate.
[01:28] Nanbu
    You ready, Joe?
[01:29] Joe
    Yeah.
[01:33] Joe
    Come on, Sachio!
[01:35] Sachio
    Yeah! I'm coming!
[01:38] Joe
    Man...
[01:40] Joe
    What were you doing back there, anyway?
[01:45] Sachio
    Oh, nothing.
SIGN    Team
    Nowhere
[01:46] Joe
    What's that supposed to mean?
[01:48] Sachio
    Seriously, it's nothing!
[01:49] Sachio
    Let's get a move on!
[03:39] Comm
    I... I can't quite believe what
    we're seeing here, folks.
[03:44] Color
    This is unprecedented.
[03:46] Color
    The battle to determine
    the strongest Megalo Boxer,
[03:48] Color
    the championship match of Megalonia...
[03:50] Color
    I don't think anyone expected
    it to shape up like this.
[03:54] Joe
    How's it feel to be gearless?
[03:59] Yuri
    I think I might understand
    what you meant before, now.
[04:04] Comm
    I still don't believe what I'm seeing.
[04:06] Comm
    We've got a pair of gearless
    boxers standing in the ring
[04:09] Comm
    where the greatest fighter will be crowned.
[04:12] Sachio
    Pops... Yuri's body...
[04:15] Sachio
    The places where the Gear used to be
    look like he was torn up by giant claws!
[04:21] Nanbu
    A pair of scarred-up animals, huh?
[04:24] Nanbu
    The kid couldn't have asked
    for a better dance partner here.
[04:34] Phone
    President, it's about to start.
[04:58] Comm
    We're now into the fourth round...
[05:01] Comm
    Joe's been throwing more punches so far,
[05:03] Comm
    but Yuri seems to be
    connecting more regularly.
[05:06] Color
    You'd think the loss of Gear
    could've slowed Yuri,
[05:10] Color
    but he's looking better than ever out there.
SIGN    Go! Big Joe! Go! Team Nowhere!
[05:14] Sachio
    He's hitting back really fast!
    He's predicting Joe's moves!
[05:18] Nanbu
    Don't get tense out there!
[05:19] Nanbu
    Stay light on your feet!
[05:21] Yuri
    Is this the pure and simple fight you wanted?
[05:41] Sachio
    Joe!
[05:48] Joe
    I've been letting him set the pace so far,
[05:50] Joe
    but it's about time I start my engine.
[05:52] Nanbu
    You were sounding pretty restless
    out there for someone taking it slow.
[05:56] Nanbu
    Look, this guy has the edge
    offensively, defensively,
[05:58] Nanbu
    and in about every other way you can look at it.
[06:01] Nanbu
    He's got a lot more wins under his belt,
[06:04] Nanbu
    but he's still only human.
[06:06] Nanbu
    Sooner or later, he'll show an opening.
[06:09] Nanbu
    Don't miss that chance.
[06:13] Comm
    Yuri hasn't sat down once during
    the intervals between rounds.
[06:17] Comm
    It seems he's got a bottomless
    reserve of stamina.
[06:20] Mikio
    It's the other way around.
[06:22] Mikio
    The pain and loss of stamina from the surgery...
[06:25] Mikio
    If he sits down, he won't be able
    to stand, so he's staying on his feet.
[06:32] Mikio
    Let me see how this plays out, to the end.
[06:39] Yuri
    That's it. Give me more!
[06:48] Sachio
    Joe!
[06:49] Aragaki
    Weave past it and grab a hold of him!
[07:08] Sachio
    Pops! Yuri pulled his left back!
[07:10] Nanbu
    He switched?
[07:12] Comm
    And that's the champion for you!
[07:13] Comm
    By switching from orthodox to southpaw
    he's managed to avoid disaster!
[07:29] Ref
    He's down!
[07:30] Sachio
    Joe!
[07:31] Count
    One...
[07:32] Nanbu
    He can't predict the timing
    of when Yuri switches up.
[07:32] Count
    Two...

[07:35] Count
    Four...
[07:37] Count
    Five...

    Six...
[07:40] Count
    Seven...
[07:40] Nanbu
    Joe!
[07:43] Joe
    Not knowing when to give up
    is kinda my thing, y'know?
[07:53] Nanbu
    This is gonna be an endurance contest.
[07:54] Nanbu
    Whoever gives in first between
    you and Yuri is gonna lose.
[07:58] Nanbu
    Like I said before, he's human, just like you.
[08:01] Nanbu
    As the damage builds up, he's gonna
    make mistakes you wouldn't normally see.
[08:07] Nanbu
    Sachio, how's Yuri doing?
[08:09] Sachio
    Uh, right... doesn't seem any different so far.
[08:23] Comm
    We're into the sixth round, and the
    champion's advantage is still on display.
[08:27] Nanbu
    Listen to me, Joe.
[08:28] Nanbu
    He can switch up all he wants,
    but his feet are gonna tell the story.
[08:32] Nanbu
    When he goes for the kill,
    you nail him with a counter.
[08:37] Joe
    There it is!
[08:42] Ref
    He's down!
[08:43] Sachio
    Pops!
[08:43] Count
    One...
[08:44] Nanbu
    Joe! Rest until the count's almost done.
[08:45] Count

[08:56] Yuri
    Good.
[08:58] Yuri
    I can't dance up here on my own.
[09:00] Kids
    Joe!
[09:01] Vets
    Joe!
[09:09] Nanbu
    Joe, circle to the left!
[09:22] Nanbu
    He sent one back!
[09:24] Aragaki
    He's doing it!
[09:26] Yabu
    This is a hell of a show.
[09:30] Fuji
    You turned a fraud into the real deal...
[09:35] Fuji
    Didn't you, Mr. Nanbu?
[09:39] Yuri
    I'm going to get serious now.
[09:41] Joe
    About damn time.
[09:57] Shirato
    Gear technology represents
    hope for the future.
[10:01] Shirato
    Traditionally, the use of heavier
    ordinance in combat
[10:06] Shirato
    requires multiple soldiers,
[10:09] Shirato
    but by equipping this integrated Gear,
[10:11] Shirato
    missions can be carried out by
    significantly smaller forces.
[10:16] Shirato
    As you saw in the demonstration earlier,
[10:19] Shirato
    the integrated Gear was designed
    to be versatile enough to—
[10:23] Generals
    Hypothetically...
[10:25] Generals
    Would it be possible to attach weapons
    directly to your integrated Gear?
[10:31] Generals
    I won't deny that your tech is remarkable,
[10:34] Generals
    but we have cost-performance to consider.
[10:40] Yuri
    Gear isn't a weapon.
[10:42] Yuri
    It is, fundamentally speaking, a way
    to support the performance of its user.
[10:45] Generals
    Yet, you've been showing us how
    effective a weapon it is this whole time,
[10:51] Generals
    using the champion.
[10:54] Yuri
    Megalo Box isn't a death sport.
[10:57] Generals
    Is that why you had him remove his Gear?
[11:00] Yuri
    No. It was no longer
    necessary for him to have it.
[11:06] Yuri
    We consider this Gear to be an
    addition to the human body.
[11:10] Yuri
    The data that we gained from
    testing it via Megalo Boxing
[11:13] Yuri
    was only a first step in its development.
[11:16] Generals
    And military application is the next
    phase of development, is that it?
[11:21] Shirato
    We may have certain
    philosophical differences,
[11:24] Shirato
    but I believe we can reach a
    mutually beneficial partnership.
[11:46] Comm
    As the intense battle continues,
[11:48] Comm
    we have now hit the end of the seventh round.
[11:56] Sachio
    Here.
[12:01] Sachio
    We're fighting as a team.
[12:04] Sachio
    But you're on your own—
[12:05] Yuri
    That was my choice.
[12:08] Yuri
    I don't need pity.
[12:09] Sachio
    That's not what this is.
[12:11] Sachio
    I'm doing it because I respect
    that you're fighting alone.
[12:14] Sachio
    Plus, I don't wanna hear
    any excuses after he beats you!
[12:22] Yuri
    In that case, I think I will.
[12:47] Yuri
    I thought you were going to go
    further than ever against me!
[12:52] Yuri
    Don't disappoint me!
    You haven't gotten there yet!
[13:00] Comm
    Joe seems to have survived
    the champion's savage rush,
[13:04] Comm
    but he looked ready
    to fall at any moment.
[13:08] Color
    It might be a good thing to stop the fight.
[13:10] Color
    Joe's fought well enough already.
[13:14] Sachio
    Joe...
[13:25] Nanbu
    Who are you?
[13:29] Nanbu
    What, did you forget your own name?
[13:35] Nanbu
    Who are you?
[13:39] (Flashback) Nanbu
    It's your name. You pick it.
[13:45] Joe
    Joe.
[13:48] Nanbu
    That's right. You're Joe.
[13:51] Nanbu
    The best Megalo Boxer there is.
[14:07] Crowd
    Enough already!
[14:08] Crowd
    Just give up and lie down!
[14:17] Nanbu
    How's he doing?
[14:19] Sachio
    He's holding out so far...
[14:21] Sachio
    But he's on the ropes...
    It looks like he's just dragging it out.
[14:25] Sachio
    At this rate...
[14:26] Nanbu
    Have you ever seen the kid back down?
[14:31] Sachio
    I know, but...
[14:34] Nanbu
    There's no reason for us to lose our way.
[14:38] Nanbu
    He's been out there, in the dark,
    making his way toward the light.
[14:47] Comm
    We are now entering Round 13,
    a first in Megalo Box history!
[14:53] Color
    The champion looks like he's
    still more than ready to go,
[14:56] Color
    but Joe seems to be on his last legs.
[15:11] Joe
    Thank you... Pops. Sachio.
[15:21] Color
    Both fighters have been slugging
    it out since the round began!
[15:25] Color
    An astonishing sight to see
    in the thirteenth round!
[15:32] Sachio
    Joe's on the right,
    and Yuri is coming from the left...
[15:34] Sachio
    Wait, no, the right!
[15:36] Sachio
    With two shots to the body, and then...
[15:38] Nanbu
    That's enough, Sachio.
[15:41] Nanbu
    Don't take your eyes
    off of them from here on out.
[15:46] Nanbu
    Burn the sight of them in the ring
    into your memory.
[15:55] Nanbu
    I can see it, Joe.
[15:57] Nanbu
    It's like the two of you really are dancing.
[16:02] Joe
    Yuri!
[16:04] Yuri
    Joe!
SIGN    Go! Big Joe! Go! Team Nowhere!
[16:42] Yuri
    We really are lucky...
[16:44] Yuri
    to have run into each other.
[17:17] Yuri
    You're going, aren't you?
[17:19] Joe
    Yeah.
[17:24] Joe
    What am I doing right now?
[17:32] Joe
    I'm living the best moment of my life.
[17:39] Generals
    That woman scares me.
[17:42] Generals
    She heard the news about the match
    and didn't so much as blink.
[17:46] Generals
    I suppose Megalonia and the champion
    were both tools for her business.
[17:50] Generals
    Once they lost that value, she lost interest.
[17:53] Generals
    Makes me feel bad for him.
[18:11] Yuri
    Whether you're a power player
    who wears a weighty crown,
[18:14] Yuri
    or some poor soul with barely
    a pebble to his name...
[18:17] Yuri
    Nobody can escape death.
[18:21] Yuri
    But if you live your life so that,
    when it comes, you're satisfied,
[18:27] Yuri
    even if it's not the end you were hoping for,
[18:30] Yuri
    you'll have no reason to fear death.
SIGN    Gym Nowhere
[18:55] Nanbu
    Well, I would like to thank everyone
    for taking the time to come by today.
[19:01] Nanbu
    The fact that we're now

[19:05] Nanbu
    is not unlike a blessing

    You brats better be getting ready, too!

    You got it!

[19:32] Bonjiri
    Well, there's a lot...
[19:36] Sachio
    Go get it!
[19:41] Sachio
    Okay, now we're gonna race for it.
[19:42] Sachio
    Ready?
[19:43] Sachio
    Go!
[19:45] Yuri
    They turned out well.
[19:46] Sachio
    I know, right?
[19:48] Sachio
    I thought it was crazy when Pops
    of all people started a garden.
[19:52] Sachio
    Hey, you're not dry yet!
[19:55] Sachio
    Man!
[19:59] Sachio
    Pops said for you to come
    by the party tonight, if you want.
[20:06] Sachio
    And...
[20:07] Sachio
    Miss Yukiko came by the other
    day to congratulate us.
[20:11] Sachio
    She left right away, though,
    with her being so busy.
[20:13] Sachio
    She seemed to be doing well.
[20:17] Yuri
    I see.
[20:20] Yuri
    It's already been a year...
[20:27] TV
    In the year since Megalonia,
[20:29] TV
    Shirato seems to have distanced
    itself from its business as a promoter,
[20:33] TV
    but last night, President Shirato
    herself announced plans...
[20:36] TV
    for a second Megalonia tournament.
[20:40] TV
    The championship title has been
    vacant in the year since the finals, but...
[20:46] Abu
    Finally able to get her running
    on your own, huh?
[20:52] Joe
    More or less.
[20:56] Joe
    Sorry for rushing you.
[20:58] Abu
    Hell, I don't mind. Think of it as my gift.
[21:01] Joe
    They're gonna be real happy.
[21:03] Joe
    They can't seem to shut up about wanting
    to get in the ring as soon as they can.
[21:08] Abu
    And what about you? Are you done with the ring?
[21:15] Joe
    You remember what you said to me?
[21:17] Joe
    About having the faith to believe in yourself...
[21:20] Joe
    And how living like that wouldn't be so bad?
[21:23] Abu
    Yeah. But I also said this...
[21:26] Abu
    Real boxers are probably guys like you.
[21:34] Joe
    I only pulled it off because we're a team.
[21:36] Joe
    I dunno what the future's gonna be like...
[21:39] Joe
    But for now, I want to let that be known.
[21:43] Joe
    I'll see you next time, then.
[21:45] Abu
    All right.
[21:50] Abu
    Gonna be another hot day...
